Although we have not had serious health issues with our children we have had times of flu or colds when or children were listless. I know some of you out there are all too familiar with sick children whether it be asthma, cancer, broken bones, emotional problems, etc. The other day one of our older children was making our 1 year old giggle time and again. I was in the other room but my ears were drawn to it. I am so thankful for laughter of children, it is like music for the heart. For those who have not heard laughter due to whatever issues I hope someday soon it will change for you, as they say absence makes the heart grow fonder; does that apply to children laughing? Studies have shown that on average children will laugh close to 300 times per day and adults only around 20 times a day. I think all parents (and grandparents) should find something to laugh about with their children, it would do everyone’s heart good.
